Assuming you are talking about PvP balance,

We expect the balance to change with the release of each phase.

We do have some balance changes in the oven, but not likely to be out before Nov 4th. We primarily have been working on the systems around how we can best determine current balance, and simulate/test proposed balance changes so that we can iterate on balance regularly once we open up that pandora's box.

But of course no matter what balance changes we make, 50% of the PvP community will be upset

Can hunters please get a tiny buff to kill command range? on large bosses like Rag you have to be almost on top of him to issue the command if the pet decides to path to the other side of him.

I’ve discovered a bug at the Darkmoon Faire: Tier 5 quests provide absolutely no reputation. I’m currently at 2000/3000 Neutral, but Tier 5 quests are supposed to grant reputation all the way up to 11,999 (Honored).

HC Characters cant queue for wsg, tried from wsg battlemaster as well

Back in twow, pvp was a hellhole, both premades sat on each side of the fence, checking their friendslist to see if the other premade got into a bg, if premade A was inside, premade B could freely join a new battleground and faceroll 10 random players with their coordination and high gear. If for whatever reason they got matched, nobody wanted a long fight and the traded the win quickly. It was not in the true spirit of pvp. Atleast here you cant really monitor if you are facing a premade. The player pool for pvp is larger this way.

There is a reason we are on N'zoth and not the pvp server.
There is a reason we were on the pve server on turtle too.
There is also a reason the pvp server has smaller numbers.
I don't recall a vote for this, It's going to make it so there is nothing but sweaty premades and the PVE people won't be able to honor cap.
